Ophelia follows the massive hurricanes that battered the Caribbean and the south-east USA last month, however it is a separate system.

The storm is currently producing incredibly strong winds, however the Met Office say when it hits the UK and Ireland we can expect gusts of between 55 and 65mph, possibly even reaching up to 80mph in some places.

And worst of all? This weather this weekend is actually set to be quite nice, so Ophelia is coming to wash away the last remnants of summer for us.
